Description

What makes a harmony “far-out”? Extensions to the basic triad. You’ll learn to listen for the root — the bass line — the tonal center. Then you’ll determine whether the 5th is perfect, augmented, or diminished. Then you’ll listen for the chief color tone, whether it be a 6th, 9th, or whatever. You’ll learn to listen, analyze, listen, analyze, and then listen some more.
